Description

Indian PowerPlus 1919  998 cc side valve  V- twin  engine #  81M281

The Indian PowerPlus engine was a design of Charles Gustafson, who had already earned fame as an engine designer at the Reading Standard company before he was approached by the Indian management. 
His task was to design a powerful, robust, reliable and production friendly engine to replace the old F-head V-twin design of Oscar Hedstrom. The resulting 61” side valve PowerPlus introduced in 1916 was an immediate success and this model is still one of the most coveted American vintage motorcycles. 
Power developed is a healthy 18 BHP.  
This machine is in stunningly  original condition and is ready to hit the road. 
It comes complete with full electric equipment and Corbin speedometer.
